Mr Maddox, who is legally entitled to park the car there outside his home, says he has no choice but to park his car there as there is nowhere else. He uses the vehicle to buy his goods from the local shops.

What choice do I have? There is nowhere else I can put the car.

She’s a lovely car. I saw it and went ‘Ahh’. I love it here. It’s very nice. The tourists don’t bother me – I don’t hear them.

His neighbour Francome Robinson, 71, who lives in one of the Arlington Row cottages added:

Tourists should get a life. They must realise that we live here. These are our homes. Peter has every right to park there and there isn’t anywhere else he can park.

There are plenty of places people can take photographs from without getting the yellow car in.

The National Trust says they look after the properties at Arlington Row but have no influence over where Mr Maddox should park the car.
